Thu, 13 Dec 2018 01:24:00 +0000Markhttp://www.mlwgames.com/news/446/gamers-and-vapingIt seems that many of the smokers who play games are turning to using electronic cigarettes and other vaping devices as a way to get their smoking fix. They're a perfect fit for many reasons.

When it comes to vaping and gamers who smoke, it's perfect. You can start to enjoy the two things you love the most at the same time. Gaming establishments don't always allow smoking. However, vaping is considered an acceptable way and is often allowed. If you're gaming in the same room as a non-smoker it is also much more polite.

Can't pause online games

You just can't take a smoke break during a game! Gamers are known for being reluctant to leave their game until it's done - and this is where Vape pens really come in handy.

Instead of having to remove your hands from your controller to strike a match, fire up a lighter, hold the cigarette, flick the ash in an appropriate place, etc. But with your favorite vaping device, you need but hold it in your mouth and inhale. Your hands are free to use the controller or fly across the keyboard.

Comfortable playing experience

Playing with a console controller while smoking a cigarette can be a nightmare - trying to keep ash from falling on your clothes and furniture during the middle of a game.

With Vape pens you can leave them on the side, ready, until you have a convenient moment.

Nicotine free varieties

Many Vape companies provide nicotine free varieties of their E-Liquids. This is great if you're trying to cut down.. or just don't want to consume nicotine.

Vaping CBD

CBD E Liquids combine the best of nature and technology! Vaping is fast becoming the method of choice to consume CBD - which is great for gamers. Get the benefits of CBD while playing your favourite game. Find out more about CBD E-Liquids.

]]>03 ways online gaming can improve brain functionhttp://www.mlwgames.com/news/445/3-ways-online-gaming-can-improve-brain-function
Tue, 30 Oct 2018 23:54:58 +0000MBhttp://www.mlwgames.com/news/445/3-ways-online-gaming-can-improve-brain-functionPlaying online games is a great way to relax and have fun, but did you know doing so can also help you develop your mental
skills? For centuries, playing games of all kinds has been proven to improve cognitive function and this is still the case for many
of the online games you enjoy today. The brain-boosting power of gaming is down to many factors and can aid the development
of certain skills as well as have therapeutic benefits. For example, strategic games are widely associated with good planing
skills, while vibrant designs and characters can inspire the imagination.

Therapeutic benefits

Firstly, playing online games can benefit the mind through their therapeutic capacity. The concentration required to play certain
games is thought to have a calming effect on many people. Others report feeling less susceptible to cravings such as cigarettes
and alcohol when playing online. Video games have also been found to help players feel better about themselves. If a gamer is
satisfied or gains a sense of achievement while playing, endorphins are released giving them a feeling of wellbeing and
happiness. The intriguing storylines and characters that help create the immersive gaming worlds we know and love can also
help in the development of creative skills and imagination. It's common to find a combination of these factors within different
games. The video slots at House of Fun, for example, each have their own eye-catching theme, exciting back stories and bonus
levels, with tons of exciting prizes to be won and enjoyed.

Skill development

It's no surprise that many online games help players to develop certain skills. Combat games, for example, require spatial
awareness and the ability to think and react quickly. Strategic games, on the other hand, require excellent planning skills and
deep-thinking. Puzzle-style games are also great when it comes to brain development. Engaging in puzzles causes the brain to
release a chemical called dopamine which is responsible for aiding memory and learning. What's more, while video games were
once thought of as solitary activities, technological advancements mean playing online is more interactive than ever before. Not
only that but games, especially combat or role-playing titles, often involve working as a team which helps a gamer to develop
key communication skills.

Brain power

Enjoying a video game regularly can also help improve a player's memory. The challenges and questions posed by games are
thought to aid memory formation particularly if the game is played multiple times. Improvement in memory is often clear as the
game gets easier and progress is quicker the more a player has attempted a certain quest or challenge. Strategy video games
are also key in motivating the areas of our brain associated with memory, particularly in adults. Some scientists believe strategy
games could even help combat the effects of diseases such as dementia and Alzheimer's. In addition to improving memory,
some online games are also believed to help boost the player's attention span. The challenges and quests posed require high
levels of concentration and discipline which encourage gamers to focus. The more enjoyable the game, the easier it is to
concentrate. That's why intriguing characters, storylines and graphics are vital in developing a successful game.

Wed, 26 Sep 2018 18:23:44 +0000AVhttp://www.mlwgames.com/news/443/how-to-win-the-who-broke-the-bank-achievement-in-fallout-new-vegasHow to Win the "Who Broke the Bank" Achievement in Fallout New Vegas

The Courier Who Broke the Bank achievement in Fallout NV can
be obtained in the casinos of New Vegas by making so much money playing the casino games that
they all eventually ban you from playing.

WARNING! Once you receive this achievement you will be banned from the
casino games and cannot play them ever again. However, the other services in the casinos are still
fair game. If you enjoy playing in the casinos it would be better to leave this achievement for later.

It is recommended to boost your characters "Luck" stats to a
minimum of 7. This will help you win more often, but do not force it to 10 or try any hacks as this
could cause the achievements to be blocked entirely.

The New Vegas Strip has three main casinos, you will need to win the following amount of caps in
order to be kicked out of each:

9,000 Caps in Gomorrah

10,000 Caps in Tops

15,000 Caps in Ultra-Luxe

You can also get banned from The Atomic Wrangler, The Vikki & Vance and Sierra Madre casinos if you bet too much. But these do not
count towards the achievement.

Steps to Easily Win and Get the Achievement

First things first, you need to exchange your caps for casino chips. Find the bank tellers inside each
of the casinos. Do not kill them or else it will be impossible to play the games and get the achievement.
The Tops casino teller is a bit hidden, on the second floor, but the rest are easy to find.

Step #1 - You can play any casino game like roulette or slots, but many players
have found blackjack to be the fastest and most enjoyable way of nailing this achievement. The
games are played just like in a real casino, so if you don't know how to play learn the basics of playing blackjack before you waste your chips, review these basic strategies for the game and use it as a cheat
sheet.

Here is a simple video tutorial playing blackjack at one of the casinos:

Step #2 - Make sure to have at least 500 caps when aiming for the achievement.
Go to the game floor and find the blackjack table. If this is your first time in the casino, play a few
rounds on the lowest bet. When ready, raise the bets to 100. If you get the message
"You feel Lucky" while playing, it means the win was influenced by
the players "Luck" stat, so make sure to have 7 or more points of this feature.

Step #3 - After stacking some nice winnings, raise the bet to 200.

Step #4 - As your chips stack up, every 25% into the achievement goal the
casino staff will bring special rewards.

At the Tops as you reach 10k in Caps they bring you these rewards:

Vodka

Brahmin Steak Wine

High Roller Suite Key

At the Gomorrah as you aim for the 9k in Caps, you receive these rewards:

Brahmin Steak (2)

Mentats, Jet, Wine (2)

Reinforced Combat Armor

At the Ultra-Luxe, where you need to get a total of 15k in Caps, you get these rewards:

Atomic Cocktail

Brahimin Wellington

Bon Vivant Suite Key

LOOK OUT! There is a Bug in the Game - The rewards will not be given if the
casino staff fails to reach your table in time. Make sure never to skip a reward being offered. It
may also happen that the casino staff might get stuck on geometry and cannot reach you in time
while you continue to bet. This bug was common on PS3 and Xbox consoles, so always wait until
the staff reaches you before continuing with the table game.

Step #5 - As you progress, what usually happens is you will have winning
streaks, but then you might lose it all, it happens. When this happens, work your way up slowly
again with the 100 to 200 bet increments until you break the bank of the casino. The Floor
Manager will approach you to say you can no longer play in the casino, but you won't be kicked
out.

Step #6 - Exchange the chips for caps at the teller, take a few minutes before
hitting another casino and repeat the process. It is best if you begin with the lower limit to higher
limit casino; in the order of The Tops, Gomorrah and Ultra-Lux.

If you followed our simple and easy steps, you should have received the "Who Broke the Bank"
achievement and can use all your winnings to power up your guns and ammo. A great way to
enhance your gaming experience!

Cheating Doesn't Work Very Well

If you decide to get sneaky and save before playing in the casino to take a huge loss and then re-
load to try again with all your initial chips; the dealer will take a 60 second break to change the
deck as a deterrent to cheating. This break also applies to slots and roulette.

Control of New Vegas.

Thu, 16 Aug 2018 14:30:43 +0000AVhttp://www.mlwgames.com/news/442/online-video-slots-guideWith the advancement in technology and software development, online video slots have become the
most played and common game variation. Besides the wide variety of video slots on the market, they are
packed with appealing themes and 3D animations, huge jackpots and bonus rounds, special winning
features and symbols.

The good thing with online video slots is that they accommodate both beginners and advanced punters.
Online video slots have won a huge audience because they are very easy to learn and play. Unlike their
classic cousins with a limited number of reels and paylines, online video slots have 5 reels and multiple
possible ways of winning.

In this guide, we have covered all there is you need to know about online video slots including top video
slot developers, video slot titles, and best online casinos.

History of Online Video Slots

The first ever created slot machine came into existence during the early 90s. The coin-operated
machines were small, noisy and quite primitive compared to the modern slot machines. Players used to
pull a lever to set the reels in motion.

Nonetheless, the first electromechanical slots were invented in 1960. They were more advanced in terms
of jackpots and gameplay. The increased gameplay was as a result of the changes made on the springs
and levers. Due to their designs, slot machines were later dubbed, 'one-armed bandit'.

It was Walt Fraley who invented and replaced the physical reels with a video screen adorned with virtual
reels in the 1970s. Although the technology was still primitive, his invention was the groundbreaker of the
modern beautiful video slots. However, most players feared the new invention as they did not understand
how it operated.

A company known as IGT is the one that purchased Fraley's video slot idea and upgraded it to modern
slot machines. By 1980, almost all American brick and mortar casinos were video slots to players. By the
1990s, video slots had become more advanced and popular. When the internet was invented in the late
90's they were the first to be offered by online casino operators.

multipliers, and free spins.

three or more symbols.

used. These symbols reward players regardless of whether they land on active reels or not. In modern
video slots, landing three or more scatters on reels will trigger a special bonus feature.

or the next number will be higher or lower than the last.

or even billions after the spin button has been clicked.

War of the Thorns is an in-game event designed to set up expansion Battle for Azeroth. In it, the Alliance and the Horde clash once again - with Sylvanas in charge of team red.

World of Warcraft fans have always known Sylvanas would invade Teldrassil in the run up to Battle for Azeroth, but what they didn't know was how she'd go about it.

Warbringers: Sylvanas

In war, nothing is certain. In just one moment, a single action can determine victory or defeat. For Sylvanas Windrunner, warchief of the Horde, war has led her to many such moments - including one that will change the course of history on Azeroth.

War has a way of wearing down the most weathered soldiers. For legendary Horde warrior Varok Saurfang, this one could very well be his last.

Developer Hello Games boasted that every single element of the game, from the rocks to the fish, would be procedurally generated for players rather than tailor-made by the creators. People believed it would be the ultimate game that you could explore with friends. That wasn't exactly the case at the time (a fact that caused widespread disappointment). But two years later, an update promises that it will finally help realize part of what fans were fantasizing about in the first place.

Launching on July 24th is our biggest update so far, No Man's Sky NEXT, bringing a full multiplayer.

Hello Games says:

You'll be able to explore the universe with your friends, or bump into random travellers. You can help friends to stay alive, or prey on others to survive. Your group can build anything from tiny shelters to complex colonies spanning planets, and everything is shared online for others to visit. Fight as a pirate or a wingman in epic space battles with friends and enemies. Race exocraft across weird alien terrains, creating race tracks or maybe just scenic trails to share online.

Tue, 28 Nov 2017 16:13:58 +0000OMhttp://www.mlwgames.com/news/433/top-10-classic-movie-to-game-adaptations-youve-probably-never-heard-of-but-really-ought-to-tryMany films make more money on the merchandise side than they do on ticket and DVD sales, and video games are one of the most profitable of side-lines. Some of these spin-off games go onto be considered as classics in their own right, which redefine their genre; 1997's Goldeneye being a prime example in the first-person shooter world. Most other film-to-game adaptations are less celebrated, but can still be fun to play. Here's some blasts from the past that are worth looking out your old consoles for.

Tron (1982)

In a neat twist, this video game was adapted from a film about a video game. The 1982 Tron film starred Jeff Bridges when he was still in demand as an action guy, long before his bathrobe days as 'The Dude' in the Big Lebowski. Since the film was loved for its neon-lit action sequences, it was perfect for the arcade market, and if you stepped into any video games hall in the early to mid-80's, you could always be sure of hearing the distinctive Tron jingle. Thankfully you don't need to find one of the few remaining video arcades to play the original Tron, since Xbox Live have it on their platform, and it still feels as fresh and exciting as it did in the 80's.

Galahad and the Holy Grail (1982)

Monty Python's Holy Grail movie in 1975 is one of the most oft-quoted films in history and has become the definition of a cult classic. It should be little surprise then that the video game industry tried to leech on its success, as it did with this Atari 8-bit game. The gameplay on this one is truly weird, as there are no real goals to achieve, with the handbook advising you to choose one or more goals and swear to complete them, such as finding the Holy Grail. However, the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch is a nice nod to the original film, and if you like the surreal humor of Python, then you should give this game a go.

Popeye (1983)

This one was originally released for the Japanese arcade market, but was later repackaged for home users on the Atari platform. It makes use of characters originally designed for the Donkey Kong game, and it's easy to see similarities between the two titles. Although the graphics seem shockingly basic even by the standards of the eighties, the Popeye tune certainly bring back memories, and punching Bluto after chomping down a can of spinach never gets old.

Bruce Lee (1984)

Bruce Lee's martial arts inspired a generation of karate-choppers in the 70's, but his death at a young age meant the next generation of fans had to be satisfied with this Atari/Commodore 64 title. Although it came out just a year after Popeye, the colourful graphics are so much prettier, and you feel as though you really are punching and kicking your way through a Chinese castle. The game even has a multiplayer mode, so you can challenge a friend to a fight. What's not to like?

Conan: Hall of Volta (1984)

Another one for the Atari 8-bit console, Conan: Hall of Volta is a fun romp through the mythical Cimmerian world of Arnold Schwarzenegger's Conan movies. In truth, the game was originally designed as a boomerang game, before the publisher Datasoft decided to jump on the Conan bandwagon, substituting a sword for the boomerang. It is a lot of fun to play though, as your muscle-bound intrepid hero progresses through seven levels of a fortress guarded by bats, scorpions and fire-breathing dragons.

Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure (1990)

Before he became Hollywood's go-to superstar in blockbusters like Speed and The Matrix, Keanu Reeves was famous as one-half of the original movie slacker duo, Bill & Ted. In the film, these two high-school students get hold of a time machine and use it to kidnap famous figures from the past to make the best history presentation of all time. The 1990 video game follows the plot of the film very closely, and if the player does not finish the game in time, they fail their history report and lose the game. Released on the Commodore 64 and Amiga platforms, you will need to use an emulator to play this one on your PC, but the effort is worth it, due to the game's ME (Most Excellent) rating and bodacious sound effects.

South Park (1998-2017)

When South Park burst onto our TV sets in the mid-90's, we were shocked and amused in equal measure by the way these badly-drawn schoolboys navigated life's ups and downs. From Cartman getting an anal probe way back in episode 1 to Kenny dying and then being resurrected every week, there was never any lack of 'WTF' moments where these kids were concerned. Such a cult following naturally meant a video game was going to be on the cards, and in fact there have been several releases, starting in 1998 and most recently this year's The Fractured but Whole. In between there have been plenty of fun titles, including a South Park online slot game, a Chef's Luv Shack Special, and 2012's Tenorman's Revenge, where TV's most unwitting cannibal-orphan leads the boys on a chase through time.

The Godfather (2006)

The original Godfather film was released in 1972 to critical and commercial acclaim, so it is weird that we had to wait over 30 years to play an official game. This video game shares some features with Grand Theft Auto, both making use of an open world format, and both starting the player off as a low-ranking gang member. Where The Godfather differs, however, is that you will meet and interact with characters from the film, such as being tasked with placing the gun in the toilet for Michael Corleone or driving Vito to the hospital after he is shot. Marlon Brando was signed up to add his voice to the game, but died beforehand, and both Al Pacino and director Francis Ford Coppola refused to take any part. However, James Caan and Robert Duvall did reprise their roles, and the game is a lot of fun to play and is a must for any fan of the film.

Jaws Unleashed (2006)

The mid-2000's was the time for seventies film classics to be finally honored with a video game, and Jaws followed The Godfather with this interesting offering on PlayStation, Xbox and Windows. The funnest part of Jaws Unleashed is that the player takes the role of the shark itself, and is tasked with eating fish, humans and anything else it can get its teeth into. The game got mixed reception at the time, mostly due to glitches and problems of freezing up, but when it worked, it was a heck of a lot of fun, especially the Bay Patrol Blood Bath.

Saw (2009)

The Saw franchise has been thrilling, terrifying and disgusting movie audiences for some time, so it made sense to release a video game version that would fit in well with the survival horror genre. The game puts the player in the role of Detective David Trapp, who has been healed from his head wound, and must make his way through the abandoned Whitehurst asylum, collecting clues which will identify the Jigsaw killer. There is enough gore and scary situations to satisfy any fan of the film, and the soundtrack is awesomely chilling.

Film-to-game adaptations will always be popular, particularly among fans of the movie itself, and the best thing about these titles is that they rarely get old. What are your favourite games which were based on film and TV shows?

We're pretty excited so we've compiled a list of some of the games that we are particularly excited about as well as some ideas for where we think the industry is headed.

Fable Fortune

If you are an MMO player then there is every chance that you have encountered the Fable franchise and we are heading back to Albion in this latest instalment for the franchise there is a wide range of colourful characters available and the classic morality system in place so will you be good or evil? This has always been the question for Fable games with the player getting to choose between good and evil outcomes after most quests. You're going to need to be agile and have a strategy to succeed at this game and we cannot wait to play it.

Dauntless

It's time to forge your weapons and gather your allies and this is game is also about cooperation with some fantastic options available. It has been developed by Phoenix Labs and the graphics are incredible. The fantasy world is immaculate and players will need to explore the world known as the "Shattered Isles" and players will compete as "Slayers" with the aim of banding together to contest with the harsh environment. Do you have what it takes to survive the Shattered Isles? Will you become Dauntless?

World of Warcraft: Battle for Azeroth

Blizzard Entertainment's biggest game is still reeling in the punters and although the company hasn't been publishing its subscriber figures anymore, millions of people are still Warcraft fanatics. The latest expansion is set to take the game back to its roots and the main focus of Battel for Azeroth will be the Alliance vs The Horde. The PVP system is set for a major overhaul and players can continue their journey up to level 120. Warcraft still rules the MMO world 13 years on.

Bless Online

Another immersive MMO and Bless Online is free-to- play and offers an MMO experience like no other. You can choose from 7 races and 7 characters as well as pick your side. You can join the Holy Empire of Hieron or the Southern Union of Independent Races. There are some top-notch customisation features and then you can embark on your epic journey. There are 100 vs 100 realm PVP battles to look forward to so Bless Online is shaping up nicely.

Other Games

While most of the games that we have looked at are MMOs there are plenty of other games to look forward to in 2018 as well. Online gamblers can expect plenty of free new bingo games in 2018 including new bingo sites whereas Nintendo players can expect plenty of new Nintendo Switch games as well. We also expect plenty of new mobile MMOs to be released for mobile devices including smartphones or tablets so it really is shaping up to be a fantastic 2018 for the gamer!
